Chapter 877
The tradition here was that people wish to return to their birthplace when they kicked the bucket, to rest in peace there. Ever since Granny Rebecca moved to Riverton, she hadnât mentioned heading back to Rosenberg to Cornelia, but Cornelia could feel the homesickness in her
She decided to take her granny back to Rosenberg to lay her to rest next to her grandpa and dad, so they could look out for each other in the afterlife
Granny Luisa was not keen on parting ways with her good friend, but she respected Corneliaâs wishes and didnât put up a fuss. âAlright, weâll go with your plan
Cornelia said, âThanksâ
Granny Luisa patted Corneliaâs head, âNelly, remember what your granny told you. From now on, me, Bri, and Marc are your familyâ
Briana stepped forward and hugged Cornelia tightly, âIâll protect you from now on, Iâll be there for you In short, I wonât let anyone mess with youâ
Patricia also said, âNelly, youâve got me too. Iâm about the same age as your parents, if you donât mind, I take care of you like my own childâ
âThank you all!â Cornelia managed a small smile, amidst the pain of losing her granny, she felt their kindness and warmth.
The cremation went smoothly and was completed the next morning. After the cremation, Cornelia planned to take her grannyâs ashes back to Rosenberg for burial. As Corneliaâs husband, Marcus would naturally accompany her back to Rosenberg. Abigail and Zack also planned to accompany Cornelia back to Rosenberg, even though Cornelia didnât want them to, they insisted on going
Rosenberg was a dangerous place for Cornelia. Last time she went back to Rosenberg to fetch her sick granny, they didnât accompany her and deeply regretted i they were hell-bent on going with her
This time,
Once they resolved to accompany Cornelia, Granny Luisa and Briana also found a reason to stick to going to Rosenberg. If they were heading to Rosenberg. Patricia couldnât possibly stay behind
So in the end, a total of six people accompanied Cornelia back to Rosenberg
For convenience, Marcus arranged for a private jet, flying directly from Rivertonâs airport to Rosenbergâs
The Hartley Group also had investments in Rosenberg, and their enterprises ranked amongst the top five in Rosenbergâs top ten industries. The Hartley Group contributed more than half of Rosenbergâs GDP
This was a personal trip for Marcus and Cornelia, so he instructed the person in charge to prepare a seven-seater minivan for their convenience in Rosenberg, and didnât want any company staff involved in other matters.
The person in charge was named Dylan, who had worked with Marcus for many years and had earned his trust. He also understood Marcusâ character well.
Knowing that Marcus liked to keep a low profile, when Marcus asked him to prepare a vehicle, Dylan personally arranged it and delivered it to the airport himself, not letting a second person know
When Dylan saw Marcus and Cornelia coming out of the airportâs VIP passage, he quickly went to greet them, âPresident Hartley, Ms. Stewart, welcome to Rosenberg to inspect our workâ
Then, he noticed Granny Luisa was also there, and immediately became nervous, âGranny Luisa, what brings you here?â
Granny Luisa answered, âWhy canât I be in Rosenberg?â
Dylan responded, âYou sure know how to joke.â
Granny Luisa said, âDylan, thereâs no need to worry, weâre here in Rosenberg to handle personal matters, not to inspect your work.â
Hearing that they were not there to inspect his work, Dylan let out a sigh of relief.
